Apache HttpClient 4.3 on Android 4.4

Question

Has anyone gotten Apache HttpClient 4.3 working on Android 4.4? No mater what order I export the apache jars in eclipse the device uses the version of Apache HttpClient that comes with the Android SDK.

Answer 1

There will be an official re-spin of Apache HttpClient 4.3 at some point. In the meantime there is not much one can do about the problem other then repackaging the stock HttpClient with a different namespace.
